First, we will discuss Major League Baseball’s current postseason format’

At this time, Major League Baseball operates under the new regulation of the gaming division, which, following the restructuring of 1994 player strike, claiming that there are three divisions in each league, the Eastern, Western and Central Divisions ‘ The team with the best record of the loss to win in each division after the regular season will compete in the playoffs, and one Wild Card team (the team from each league with the best win loss record of all teams that did not win the title of division) will compete in the playoffs’ The current MLB Playoff series consisting of a division (the best of five games), a League Championship Series (best of seven games) and World Series (best of seven games)’ Normally, the # 1 Seed (Division Champion with the best regular season record) plays # 4 seed (Wild Card) and the # 2 seed (with the champion of the best Division 2) plays # 3 Seed (Division Winner in the 3rd best mark) in the initial formation of the division series’ Instead of all four divisional series, two in each league’ The winners of each Division Series will compete with one another in his series championship in the league’ Two total League Championship Series will be held, one in each league’ The winner of each series is crowned as champions of the National League or the Champions League of America, according to the league in which to compete’ Each to represent their league in the World Series’ The winner of the World Series is crowned World Champion of Baseball’

Probably it is also surprising comment from Major League Baseball to determine who will host some of the teams playing each series and the number of games each team will host’ Home field advantage is based strictly on regular season records, but in the division series and championship series of the League’ The # 1 seed in each entry in the league won a playoff home field advantage for their league playoffs’ If the # 1 seed is eliminated after playing Division Series, the team with the best record is not a Wild Card will have the home field advantage for the League Championship Series’ A Wild Card team can NEVER take home field advantage in the league playoffs’ Normally, teams from each division follow a 2-2-1 format (the team with home-field advantage hosts the first two games and, if necessary, the last game of the series), but may vary the length of the series as the top seed team chooses to play (the top seeded team of each series may determine the duration of how many more days of games in the series will take place)’ For example, the top seeds can choose the series have played a total of 5 games in 6 days for a total of 5 games in 8 days’ This election could change the format of the series, the Major League Baseball discretion’ Series Championship League always agree on a format of 2-3-2 (home-field advantage with equipment to host the first two games, and, if necessary, the last two games’) Duration ¿ how many days the series is played, the days do not play teams is decided by the Major League Baseball’ Once again, the team with the best record in the regular season, which is not a Wild Card will have the home field advantage for the LCS’

The issue of home field advantage in the World Series has become one of the most debated in the world of sport’ Already in 2003, two teams that compete in the Fall Classic, which was decided in the home based on the profit of the earth who had the best regular season record’ This was changed before’ After 2002, Major League Baseball and Commissioner Bud Selig, a judge in the All-Star Game each July to determine which league home field advantage in the World Series in October each year’ This is due in large part because of the All-Star Game disaster that took place in July 2002′ During the party, held at Miller Park in Milwaukee, the two leaders discussed Commissioner Selig in the 7th round and told him they were both players’ Selig a judge for the final game, right then, in the event of a tie’ In my opinion, Commissioner Selig has no choice’ If he had kept the game, players have been exposed to greater risk of injury and jars that have been made which affect their respective teams of the strategy in the weeks following the All-Star Game’ This decision led to widespread criticism of the press, players and fans’ Baseball should do something to prevent accidents from happening again’ Therefore, the commissioner, owners, board members, and player of the Association of Major League Baseball (MLBPA) leaders met to try to find a solution’ The result: All-Star Game determine home field advantage in every season of the World Series’ The game was really meant something more than the old has, in addition, players will be added to the list of equipment in each league’ The latest decision has caused even more important than the decision to end the game in a tie’ Personally I do not think the game was the best option, but it is a topic for a future post’ The All-Star Game is meant simply to be an exciting and excellent opportunity for fans and players’ People think that Major League Baseball’s decision to play for degradation of the intentions of the league when he had begun the game of the Summer Classic in 1933′ (The All-Star Game began as a pleasure and the World Expo 1933 in Chicago, Illinois’ It is the product of the Chicago Tribune Arch Ward, sports editor’ The game has become one of the most prolific in professional sport ‘ In the years following the acceptance of Major League Baseball’s famous play, every professional sport in United States continues with its own variant of an All-Star Game’)

However, the World Series adapted the format of 2-3-2, and the home field advantage is determined by the results of the All-Star Game’ The summer league that wins the Classic to their champion league home field advantage in the Fall Classic’ The designated hitter rule in effect at the time playing in a park in the American League (the “DH rule was initiated in 1973 by the American League as a solution to have a participation rate far lower than their counterparts in the National League) ‘ The rule is also controversial, and which I despise’ contradicts the first rule in the book of baseball’ Section 1′1 (Rules of Major League Baseball Official) states that “baseball is a game of two teams, each composed of A total of nine players’ “When the DH rule is in effect, is in direct violation of Article 1′1′ Once again, the World Series is the best of seven series’ The first team to win four games is crowned champion world’

Now that you are familiar with the Major League Baseball postseason configuration, three alternative scenarios could go with a baseball or disappeared:

Scenario No’ 1, “The Way of the purist” Before 1969 (the season of division play began), the team from each league with the best win-loss record after the regular season will meet in the only Playoff number of years, the World Series’ There is no division or League Championship Series played the series when using this format’ This format has been used since 1901 (the first season had a number one world) to 1968 (the last season of the Division of non-reading)’ Baseball purists are often the proponents of this format, as was the first format used to crown the champion between the two leagues’ One ton of arguments can be used during the debate of whether or not this format is very useful’ First, purists believe that having a single team to the playoffs in each league is reflected in much more exciting and competitive regular season’ They argue that a Wild Card team has no place in the playoffs and the Wild Card that is winning and the teams competing in the World Series too because the format of the postseason’ Purists also argue that this is the way Major League Baseball, where he had hoped for a world championship crown’

Due to the way that money and dominate the economic game in modern times, owners and investors in the game are much more formidable argument as to why this format is not good: more equipment, even in the playoffs is result in a greater amount of profits from ticket sales, advertising and other resources’ With more teams participating in October baseball, there are more games being played’ The direct result of much, much more money from the ads in the stadium and across other platforms (such as television, Internet, 3G devices, and Apple Inc’ ’s iPod), a greater number of tickets sold, because there are more games being played, and many more non-fare benefits from a variety of team merchandise, concession sales, and also by the premium franchise of Major League Baseball’ Also, most teams in the postseason, most organizations are able to present their “product” (or team) to a broader range of consumers’ Instead of being released on Thursday at the regional level, team games are broadcast throughout the country and different parts of the world’ This new clothing fans in large numbers, something that all organizations that MLB wants to do to try to compete in the playoffs’

Purists not the argument of business and economics to be introduced into the conversation of the game’ They believe that baseball was never about the money, and also that baseball is promoted as a great moment, a lot of money doing business is humiliating for the game itself’ In fact, professional baseball is to make money’ The game is a professional enterprise for wholesale investors reel, but most want to believe that the formation of Major League Baseball an occupant other meanings’ Again, all professional sports, including baseball, is making money’ That is why “the purists of the road” is not considered a legitimate form of Major League Baseball playoffs’

Scenario No’ 2, “pre-series division Format”: If you are playing more games can lead to higher profits, why not incorporate more games, more teams, and maybe a new series in the postseason? This type of situation is one that is generally not discussed during the debate alternative formats MLB playoffs, but I’m not sure why’ After all, the three other major American professional sports (NFL, NBA and NHL) have entered a Playoff series (NBA and NHL), or a week of games (NFL) in their playoff formats in the league’ All three have made the sport in different variations, but on the very concept of location’ All recognized that the amount of money can be made in the development of their sport in the format of the playoffs’ This theory has an exceptional work and for each sport, which has resulted not only in the expansion of each sport, but an increase in benefits for each team in the competition as well as an increase in profits for each league’ This also gives more teams more opportunities to participate in the postseason’ The greatest risk of the most exciting playoffs and fans tend to encourage more fans on how often your favorite team is doing’ If a team with fans who think their team has a chance, the fans come to games more often’ Also tune in May of alternative platforms that could lead to an increase in profits by advertising’

Purists argue that allowing more teams into the postseason once again, results in a much less competitive in the regular season’ They also argue that when you allow too many teams in the tournament, there will be a large number of sub-par equipment that does not belong’ Purists who buy into the concept of baseball as a business means that the fans are not that many regular season games, considering that the season is less competitive and far less important when you allow more teams into the playoffs’ Purists deny that this scenario would be effective for the discussion of baseball, although most purists reject efforts to change the game itself’ There are many examples that lead me to believe that this working hypothesis and may be good for baseball’

The National Basketball Association is an excellent example of this scenario are used wisely’ The NBA decided to one, most recently, to incorporate in a playoff series in his postseason format’ The League met and had the idea of adding the final conference postseason’ This decision led to a total of four teams in the league to compete in the playoffs in the NBA every year’ The decision to expand the format of their Playoff SERIES led to good results of the NBA and the game of basketball’ Not just more money in progress, but the league is to attract a significant number of new fans for basketball’ Take, for example, China’ At present there are approximately 300 million basketball fans do’ The entire population of the United States! The growth of the NBA booming market may be linked to the idea of expanding the playoffs’ Of all the great basketball broadcasts in China, over 60 percent are related to the NBA postseason’ Generate millions of new fans provides greater consumer base that the League and its teams and create profits’ When creating new markets, there are millions and millions of dollars of profits that have just created’

Let’s not forget how the NBA has become new’ The NBA with some of the most improbable, amazing and exciting game of the year in sports’ I would also like to stress that having more Playoff Series also can eliminate the teams that do not belong’ An NBA team must win a total of 16 games over four best of seven games’ Winning is what always separates the good teams from great teams, and in May also lead to sub-teams to be eliminated’ In a long-format playoffs, teams must demonstrate their worth’ This is the answer to the purist belief that too many sub-teams left into this scenario’

NBA playoff series, and the NHL playoffs in the series, composed of all the best of seven game formats This brings us to our next type of scenario’

Scenario No’ 3, “The Division of the series in seven games: In the last decade, since the imposition of the Division Series, people have argued about the length of the five rounds of games’ They want to know why series is whether the court, and why is not the same length as the other two rounds of MLB postseason currently in force’ The only answer to these questions that I can give is that the series is due in court if the Major League Baseball and the MLBPA to be iffy at the end of the extension to a number of divisions’ At the time this decision was taken, the purification process of the game of baseball is at the highest point and you could say In Major League Baseball “to the list of tasks’” You can not believe this fact because of the amount of change that took place following the 1994 players strike’ more accurately taking into account that the idea of keep the game pure May were in the minds of people that take into account in the final decision to change the format of the playoffs’ The people of the Major League Baseball are facing the difficult task of trying to develop a plan for increase profits as a direct result of skyrocketing player salaries demanding’ This, while trying not to upset the baseball fans of the application for change too’ Before the players went on strike, the fans were horrified by the idea that baseball may never be the same’ Major League Baseball did’ They had to find a way to keep everyone happy’ They did not want to overcome the postseason, so the number of games played in the series championship League and also the number of games in the series of division in the League Championship Series from 1969 to 1993′ By doing so, Major League Baseball estimate that they had found a way to increase profits while not enough to interfere too much with the purity of the game’ (I’m not able to answer why the LCS is a court of five games of this type of format was institute in 1969′ I can say that the pre-World Series Playoff Series were a new Major League Baseball at the time, and the purity factor must also be taken into account’ Maintaining the purity of the game to be even more important in baseball, compared to 1, 994 / 95 changes format’ The postseason was nearly the same for almost 68 years up until this point, except to change the length of the World Series of nine games to seven games in 1920′ At a time when the format Playoff series was modified and extended for the first time , changes in the routines of the season were unknown, as well as undesirable’ Baseball has done everything possible to not affect the routine too, as in 1994 – - 95′)

Now that the acceptance of the MLB postseason format has taken full effect, why not add to the idea of the other major professional sport in which the number of games played in each of a series of equality? Most believe that five games are currently not sufficient to determine a series winner’ For my part, I think the five rounds of play in a certain place in the division too many Wild Card teams winning the World Series, or indeed, even competing in the World Series’ Remember 2006, St’ Louis Cardinals? This team has won a total of 83 regular season games’ 83 games! What ridiculous winning percentage for a team in the playoffs (‘512)’ They entered the postseason as the # 4 seed Wild Card team in the National League and have become world champions’ Looking at his performance in the division series, you might think that if there had been two games added to the series (ie, the organization would have to win a match), the Cardinals would not have advanced’ This concept can be applied to several teams playing in the division series since 1995′ The addition of two more games in the division of the series in May of calm baseball purists who are against the scandalous number of Wild Card teams to enter and win the World Series’ Moreover, the addition of two other games that, once again, increase profits, but not a lot of car it is more than two games in a series’

The facts are that the game of baseball and how the game is played has changed a lot, players, owners, leagues and fans are resistant to all other changes that have been imposed on the party’

Many people who love the game because of its spontaneity, and then there are many who love the game of legends Immortelle’ There are people who hate baseball and it is now, and there are some who hate baseball for what it was’ There are purists, and then there are the modernists, statisticians and fans’ Are the owners and managers’ There are actors, critics and fans’ It is official arbitration and punctuation’ There are organizations, franchises, associations and teams in cities large and small’ The game experience as a fierce competitor that hit once beat a man in the stands who had no hands, a nation that was falling in love with the right arm of a pitcher of cold-blooded preached spirituality, a man who was so dear, now that his hometown, is a festival in his honor’ He saw two best friends from different walks of life put on a welcome screen for Gerês unlike any other, soon to forget this summer because of the appearance of two men in front of large order jurors to explain their alleged use of performance-enhancing drugs’ The game saw a nation does not give satisfaction to a man who hated all, a man who broke the record the most sacred of all sports’ Hatred is all because they believed he used drugs to alter their performance’

Baseball is a game that saw a Supreme Court decision of 1922 will be maintained, a decision that said the game was in some way, no international trade, thus becoming the first company to be exempt from a group of laws that make business has never beaten’ I also saw a group of eight men, “Black Sox” if you want to appear in court because it had accepted money to throw the 1919 World Series’ The game is known that a player hit a home run to win a World Series only twice, twice, a feat that has raised the top cities in the world of sport’ He saw a team win a world championship unprecedented 26 times, I have seen another team wins its first World Championship in over 86 years, and witnessed a team to suffer a miserable 100 years and counting without a championship win world only for himself and for his beloved city’ The game was a team of three games to zero delay in a League Championship Series, only coming to attack again and win the series in September games, a feat never accomplished’ Baseball has twice seen a team finish with the worst record in the league for one season and then finish with the best record in the league the following season’ Baseball saw three men beating a house more than 700 tracks, one of which has become the face of baseball forever as they captured the essence of a sport in perpetual evolution’ He was a man who helped a country that forgets its biggest loss in the crack of his stick’

The game of baseball has seen good and bad’ However, it is a game that can never be equaled’ This is a game that defines a country through thick and thin, and it became a game to people when they most need help’ It is the only game where legends immortalizing sera always what they did in the field and often did so out of it’ Perhaps the format decided by the baseball postseason will never change, and perhaps even make a difference’ Whatever happens, always know that the game of history is written in every place, and we hope that the game will be there for us when we face dark times, we hope to be there for us as it was during the last 150 years’ We hope that when we have problems in life, there will be something we can turn and hope that the answer will be the game of baseball’

May be just a baseball game, but it is a game that has occupied a special place in the hearts of billions of people since its inception’ Baseball is different from everything we know’ For this reason, the importance of the game does not compare with anything, ever’
